Bugaboo is sponsoring our challenge and the winner will receive 7 fun images!

One week to go before Christmas is here!There are always little last minute things to do, gifts to wrap.It's also a time of finishing off the year, of wrapping up, ready for the next step.

That is what we want to see: your interpretation of 'wrap-it-up'. It can be your gifts all beautifully wrapped, a gift tag, a lovely layout that you wanted to finish before Christmas. Remember to mention that you are joining this challenge for a chance to win the price/get in the spotlight.

Our fabulous Design Team has been busy creating fabulous projects using images from the sponsor:

Hello! My name is Maria. I am from Bulgaria. For almost 2 years now I've been scrapbooking and mainly cardmaking. I express my emotions and feeling with paper, embellishments and paints. Inpirations is around us! Thank you so much to the girls for asking me be a

I've been a card maker for many years and love stamping - my style is mostly clean and simple. As well as designing for several companies, I also teach regular card making workshops. I work as an activities coordinator for Abbeyfield, a charity that provides residential and sheltered care for the elderly. This means that I spend my working week playing dominoes, doing chair exercises and crosswords and of course crafting!

Ok, your turn! You can enter Challenge 1, Challenge 2 or both if you like!

This double challenge will remain open until December 31, so you've got two weeks to add your projects. The Crafting by Designs team will take a week off to spend the holiday with their families, but we're getting ready for some great new challenges in 2014. Hope you'll join us!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all from Crafting by Designs!

WendyLynn has won 4 digi images from the Delicious Doodles store!Thanks to everyone who shared their penguin projects with us, and don't forget to check out our current challenge HERE, andbe sure to stop back on Saturday to who is in our next Saturday Spotlight!

I am just thrilled to have been chosen as a spotlight winner by Crafts by Designs, I have been crafting my entire life and paper crafting for the last 3 years after a friend introduced me to Close to My Heart. I am a loyal user of their paper and inks although I have branched out into other companies stamps and embellishments. I live in Alberta Canada so the cold weather affords me lots of time to spend crafting while I am avoiding the cold weather.

I am Amelia Breytenbach from South Africa and crafting is my passion for 10 years. My card making style is shabby vintage and as with all crafters my craft room is filled with dies and stamps from many crafting brands. I am so honored to be invited by Crafting by Designs Design Team to create a card for this challenge. You can see more of my creations at my blog

I was delighted to be asked to do a guest DT spot here at Crafting By Designs !

A little bit about me – having completed 30 years as a police officer, I retired a few years ago. We have recently moved to a beautiful spot in the North West of England and I divide my time between lawn bowls, tracing my family history and of course making messy with paper and ink. People said I’d be bored when I left work – not true! Never enough time now!

My other half indulges me completely– he turned the top floor of our new house into a proper office/craft room after having done the same for me in our previous house so I am one lucky person!

I love blogland and Pinterest, other peoples creativity amazes and inspires me - my card reflects that and I hope you like it!Ursala Uphof

I am Ursula Uphof living in Johannesburg, South Africa with my hubby of 48 years. I have done some sort of craft all my life but only about 6 years ago discovered the art of paper crafts, and now have little time for all the other hobbies.

We travel quite a lot as we have 1 son in New Zealand and 1 in The Netherlands, and love to visit shops in those countries as my budget allows..I am on a couple of D T’s and I also run some workshops in card making.AlyciaHappy Chick Designs

I have been making cards since February 2007, when I attended my first Stampin' Up party, and have been hooked ever since. I enjoy creating mini albums as well and have just recently found myself making cards again after several years of focusing on those other paper crafts. I'm having a blast and thoroughly enjoy myself whenever I am creating.

WOW - weren't these just fabulous!!
